Notice You can now watch Blazer games in Portland with a PlayStation at the Core Vue package ($44.99)

[Denny Crane]

I'm happy for you guys who couldn't get the games before.

 

[julius]

But I think video game consoles are just for kids.

Its ok to admit you play video games all day and posted that in your underwear.

I don't have a PS3 or 4, is there a big difference in them if I'm only using it for watching TV?

Dude... Get the 4.

 

[BigGameDamian]

Can't wait for Uncharted 4!!

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Can't wait for Uncharted 4!!

How can you have 4 of something if it's uncharted? Shouldn't it be Charted 4?

 

[BoBoBREWSKI]

Did anyone try it during last nights game?

 

[Natebishop3]

I'm curious to see if this is actually true.

Fingers crossed it is! Get's me very excited!

Pac 12 Network available?

Pac 12 Network available?

I dont think so, but I'm not positive. They do have espn u and Fox sports pacific.

I'm pretty sure it is. Playstation has deals with Comcast sports net. I've been waiting for this since early last year when it came out in other markets so I could cut the Comcast cord

We were informed yesterday that a deal had been reached to allow Sony to air our network on their PlayStation Vue platform. I do believe you have to get their second tier package as Sly noted the "Core Vue" to get our network. - Kevin

How long until you guys start bitching about Comcast still not doing enough to make you happy?

Looking at the CNET article, sounds like the local channels (KGW, KOIN, KATU, etc) are not available in the smaller cities like Portland.

New 'Slim' packages lose local channels
Until today Vue was only available in seven major metropolitan areas: New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Philadelphia, Dallas, San Francisco and Miami. Packages in those cities start at $40 per month and include local broadcast TV channels, namely ABC, CBS, Fox and NBC (but not PBS).
If you live in one of the 203 other TV markets newly served by Vue -- places like Atlanta, Detroit, Houston, Phoenix, Portland, and St. Louis, as well as smaller cities and towns in all 50 states -- you'll only be able to subscribe to what Vue is calling "Slim" versions of its channel packages, starting at $30 per month.
The difference is that Slim packages don't have access to live local channels via Vue. According to Sony's press release, "Content from ABC, FOX and NBC will be available only as on-demand content in the Slim multi-channel plans. Most on-demand content will be available within 24 hours after airing. CBS live and on-demand programming will be added to select TV markets at a later date."

I like CSNNW... dont like Comcast Xfinity. It's a complete rip off and crappy product (my DVR freezes all the time). I feel like I'm getting raped paying my bill every month. Sony Vue could finally be what I need to cancel Comcast Xfinity! Exciting!

It'll never stop. That goes for all cable.

 

[riverman]

What is a PlayStation?

 

[riverman]

This is my play station but it doesn't stream Blazer games

 

[Hey]

For anyone who has a PS4, you can download the app and get a free 7 day trial. I haven't gotten to stream a game yet, but other channels seem to work fine.

Why has there been no official press release about this?

Comcast made the deal with Playstation a long time ago. And Playstation vue has been out for over a year. Portland just now is getting it

 

[Daweez04]

If they can get Pac-12 network, I will dump my xfinity in a heart beat!

Sorry, but the channel and the company, are practically two different entities. Id love to see an actual Comcast rep show up here and discuss the reason I have to pay $200 a month in order to watch the Blazers on two tvs with DVR on HD and have standard internet.
Yes, Our bill is $194 for two tvs with HD DVR and internet.....

I love the channel... cant stand the company....
